Aah, nostalgia -- it's one of the first fics I read when I discovered the archive many years ago
-- it's a "B" story, so it was on the second page I visited. I couldn't remember the author, so I had to check to make sure. It's "Band" by Bhavani Rao
Here's the next one
. It should be really easy, but it's one of my favorites.
By midnight, the election night party at the Metropolis Hilton's
main ballroom was working its way through lively and approaching
rowdy; the "Kent for President" campaign was expecting a win. The
stage and podium were draped with ribbons - red, blue, and yellow -
and news crews for all the major networks had staked out corners of
the room for their live broadcasts. Until the final vote tallies were
in, however, there was nothing to do but drink, laugh, and shout to
be heard over everyone else shouting to be heard. All the Kents
were gathered upstairs, glued to LNN's election night coverage.
